Better Late than Never.

Gee its only taken them what 20 years? Of course if ActiveX and bad code hadn't made it so easy to attack the OS, maybe they wouldn't have to be offering this "service patch" for free now or for that matter would it be needed now.

Maybe somebody in their accounting department finally did a cost analysis of what it was costing them in profits when the OS software was so "hole-y"?
